I know it looks dirty and muddy... because it is.. lol but i'm gunna go get it steam cleaned at the Ford dealership to get the 20+ years of mud and dirt off it.  I also plan to replace all the tubes and hoeses that i can and get sleaves for the others so they look new... It was terriable to see old dirty parts put back on my new clean engine.

Exhuast: I had Flowmaster true duals on it but changed to a single muffler with two pipes going in and two pipes going out because the two mufflers took all my bottom end out and made 0-40mph slow as shit...(it sounded really nice and deep though) This new exhaust system makes it sound more like a muslce car then a really loud truck but it still sounds mean as hell, just not as loud. It makes it alot quicker off the line too, much better.

 

 Transmission:  Three days after I got my bronco back with the new 302 in it, the tranny started slippin and having a hard time shifting. So I took it back to the shop and they took off the pan to find little metal shavings and water all in it... that wasn't good.  So now I to dropped another $2000 on rebuilding the transmission.  The replace everything inside and the torque converter, so the only thing the same is the case..  Now I want to change the rear end.

Oh sorry man, havn't been on here in a while. The valve covers on my 351w, were ordered from Broncograveyard.com That is a great websight, if you havn't been on there. Check out my rear bumper, I just installed.

The rubber seals were in pretty good shape. I did not have a problem with them at all. What did take time was unscrewing the star bolts. If you can try to find a star wrench that you can attach to a rachet. You probably have to have one that has a hole in the center of the tip. I really enjoyed riding around in it with the lid off. Good luck

Jacob, Sorry it took so long for me to respond, I have not been on cd in awhile. They are called "Goodyear High Miler" hoses and you can get them just about anywhere, I got mine through Summit Racing. Hope that helps, your Bronco is looking great! Russ

Well I know you can find them on eBay and I only ordered the filter itself and just used the original rubber tubes that came with the air intake. So give them a try and if not there, try summitracing or Jegs. Thanks for the comment btw! Love the performance mods that you have in yours. I need to rebuild my engine something fierce!
